The Rochester Institute of Technology: An Interactive computer disk
Abstract
The nature of this thesis
is to explore the possibilities of
interactive animation. An
animated, interactive program
which shows various activities
and programs of the Rochester
Institute of Technology, (R.I.T.),
is the finished product. R.I.T's
history, upstate New York
location, and academic
philosophies are incorporated.
The interactive disk
contains information about the
various programs the college
offers, as well as, many examples
of actual student work. It also
shows these students creating
their projects. In their own
words, they tell about their lives
at R.I.T., both in and out of the
classroom. Faculty and staff also
offer their views, lending another
perspective of R.I.T's
philosophies and beliefs. Because
R.I.T. offers a various array of
programs, highlighted are only
some of the programs available at
R.I.T. The shown in detail are
the College of Imaging Arts and
Sciences.
Cooperative experiences
offered at R.I.T. , and the
financial aid available to students
are also described. The video
images include interviews and
discussions with many of the
departmental leaders of the
campus, as well as, interviews
with students of different
cultures, backgrounds, and
programs.
This interactive program
was created by using numerous
computer software packages
which is the actual heart of the
thesis.
The program has been
built around Macromind
Director, VideoFusion, Specular
Logo Motion and Morph and
Adobe Premiere. Any retouching
has been completed by using the
Photoshop program. The
combining of all these programs
results in the end product : an
interactive disk.
